Hello all,
During the test drive of my 1976 Birchaven last week, I discovered a small
fuel leak in the fuel-fill elbow. After buying her in Fresno, CA and during
the drive north to the Sacramento area, the leak grew progressively worse.
But I made it home!
Now I'm planning to take the GMC to Jim K in the bay area to have him drop
the tanks and replace all of the hoses, but I cannot drive it like it is. I
have to replace that fuel-fill elbow before I can drive it again.
It looks to me to be fairly accessible, but I thought that I would ask if
anyone has replaced this elbow, and if there are any "gotchas" to watch out
for.
Thanks in advance,
Guy in Sacramento
